This two day course is aimed at solicitors moving in-house for the first time and will also provide a useful refresher for those returning from a career break. It gives an overview and update of the areas of law in which your advice will most commonly be sought.

The course also provides invaluable advice on integrating the legal team into a business and “selling” its value to your internal client.

Have You Managed Your Risk?

Early prosecutions under the Bribery Act may not have been as blockbuster as many had expected with a couple of low grade offences, but the SFO now has a major prosecution completed and has announced a pipeline of cases and access to blockbuster funding.

With the SFO swinging into action it's important that all companies have effective systems in place to minimise corruption risks.

With a mix of presentation, interactive discussion and video, this course will show you how to establish an effective anti-bribery compliance programme.
